GIBBONS NON SI FERMA PIÙ: SUA LA QUINTA TAPPA

È il leader della classifica generale, il sudafricano Ryan Gibbons, a vincere la quinta tappa del Tour di Langkawi, battendo allo sprint Jakub Mareczko e lo statunitense Travis McCabe. Il portacolori della Dimensione Data allunga così anche in classifica grazie all’abbuono, portando a 23″ il vantaggio sul più immediato inseguitore, l’australiano Cameron Bayly.

È davvero il suo momento. A Ryan Gibbons (Dimension Data), leader della classifica da giovedì scorso, mancava ancora la vittoria di tappa al Tour di Langkawi e questa puntualmente è arrivata oggi, nella quinta frazione della corsa malese.
Sul traguardo di Kuala Kubu Bharu, dopo quasi 150 chilometri di gara, il corridore sudafricano ha preceduto nella volata finale gli italiani Jakub Mareczko (Wilier Triestina) e Marco Benfatto (Androni Giocattoli – Sidermec), ma quest’ultimo è stato poi declassato per manovre scorrette negli ultimi duecento metri e lo statunitense McCabe (UnitedHealthcare) ha così preso il suo posto sul podio. Rilevante anche la prestazione di altri tre italiani, ossia Stacchiotti (Nippo – Vini Fantini), Maronese e Barbin (entrambi in forze alla Bardiani – CSF), giunti rispettivamente al quarto, settimo e decimo posto.
Domani saranno 176 i chilometri da percorrere tra Senawang e Muar, per una sesta tappa ancora una volta adatta agli sprinter; ma chissà se, dopo cinque frazioni, il gruppo riuscirà ancora a chiudere sulla fuga da lontano.
